I have seen the suffering of our people in the town camps. My 10-year-old nephew’s head was split open with a star picket when he jumped on top of his mother to protect her from being bashed by her partner.
My sister-in-law’s brother died from drinking a carton of beer and two bottles of wild Turkey whisky.
A 29-year-old man raped a child. A woman ran over her partner in the car she was driving and killed him.
People being eating by dogs. I got up to go to work and saw a man hanging from a tree. I can go on and on.
